ASRC Federal

ASRC Federal is a leading government contractor furthering missions in space, public health and defense. As an Alaska Native owned corporation, our work helps secure an enduring future for our shareholders. Join our team and discover why we are a top veteran employer and Certified Great Place to Work™

Advance readiness with ASRC Federal by leading a mission‑critical Defense logistics program supporting DLA Aviation. As the Procurement Specialist for Chemical Management Services (CMS), you will ensure safe, compliant, and uninterrupted delivery of hazardous materials vital to aircraft maintenance operations across multiple locations.

ASRC Federal’s Defense organization provides end‑to‑end chemical management, logistics integration, and mission sustainment support to key DoW customers. This program delivers hazardous material demand forecasting, procurement, warehousing, distribution, environmental compliance, and customer support for DoW aviation maintenance locations. You’ll lead a high‑impact team that keeps maintenance operations supplied and mission‑ready.

Key Responsibilities

As the Procurement Specialist you will:

  • Be responsible for managing and executing procurement processes.
  • Source products using Military, Federal, or commercial/ manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Negotiate and procure material, prioritizing critical item procurements to prevent work stoppages and depleted inventory balances.
  • Research hazardous material product lines, procurement specifications, and sources of supply to understand how these products are used and applied in the customer’s weapons systems and mission.
  • Perform and apply market research techniques to determine commercial market conditions, Government sources of supply, and commercial transportation.
  • Monitor and report supplier performance.
  • Track data to keep informed on price trends and market dynamics.

Minimum Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree and a minimum of 5 years’ experience managing and executing procurement processes, ideally in a Department of War environment.
  • Critical thinking skills used to conduct root cause analysis and developing corrective actions.
  • Excellent communication skills needed, with the ability to build relationships with critical suppliers.
  • U.S. citizenship is required, and the candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance

If you’re driven by operational excellence and ready to be part of a high‑impact Defense logistics program, we’d love to have you on our team. Apply now and help ASRC Federal deliver safe, compliant, and reliable CMS support to its customers.

This opportunity is being advertised for proposal purposes only, the position is contingent upon contract award and customer approval of funding.

We invest in the lives of our employees, both in and out of the workplace, by providing competitive pay and benefits packages. Benefits offered may include health care, dental, vision, life insurance; 401(k); education assistance; paid time off including PTO, holidays, and any other paid leave required by law. The salary offered will depend on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skills, education, geographic location, internal equity, business needs, and other factors permitted by law. Posted pay ranges are a general guideline only and are not a guarantee of compensation or salary.
